(CNN) — Some 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the nearest sea, engineering students at Switzerland’s ETH Zurich are hard at work on cutting-edge robots that may change the way the world’s oceans are ...
A robotic fish from engineers at the University of Surrey is making waves in the fight against plastic pollution. It doesn’t just collect plastic, it eats it to power itself. Using technology that ...
An invention born from a contest at England's University of Surrey might be swimming us closer to cleaner oceans. Researchers have created a robotic fish that doesn’t just collect plastic pollution; ...
A group of engineering students have developed a robotic fish to help solve mysteries of the ocean. The soft robotic underwater fish, called Eve, blends into a coral reef environment, allowing ...
A 13mm-long black fish silently patrols the ocean, not to feed or predate, but to clean. Soft and squishy to touch, the flesh of this fish is made of the same material as pearls are made of. As it ...
The Research Centre in Robotics and Underwater Technologies (CIRTESU) at the Universitat Jaume I conducted this week, at the PortCastelló facilities, wireless communication tests between a surface ...
The boat-shaped robot takes advantage of the same phenomenon – the Marangoni effect – used by some aquatic insects to propel themselves across the surface of water. A chemical reaction within a tiny ...
